N°2 de Maucaillou 2010 Moulis-en-Médoc - Château Maucaillou

This charming red is the second wine from Château Maucaillou and benefits from the same care as the first wine. Fruity with slight wooden notes and a silky finish, this bottle offers an unbelievable value for money.

Pretty much any roasted or grilled red meats. Why not open it with some grilled lamb chops followed by a nice cheese board.

A word about the domain

The domain of Maucaillou was created “only” in 1875, which can explain why it was not included in the 1855 Classification. Owned by the Dourthe family for four generations who have always maintained the high standard of the Chateau and the great care the family has always provided to the vineyard. With 90 hectares spread across Moulis and the Haut-Médoc, the Chateau produces 4 different wines but treat them all with the same care to produces quality wines, from the affordable easy to drink Bordeaux Supérieur to the more complex and perfectly balanced Château Maucaillou.

About the wine Wine Spectator: 87 (Issue: Web Only - 2013) "Fresh and inviting, with open-knit plum and cherry fruit stitched with singed vanilla bean and black tea. There's a gentle, caressing feel through the finish. Drink now through 2016."
